YAF ADDRESSES ICPC ANTI-CORRUPTION NYSC CDS GROUP

Working with NYSC corp members have remained an integral part of strengthening youths participation against corruption (Y-PAC) project. In view of this YAF Uyo team carried out a monitoring visit to the ICPC Anti-corruption CDS group. With respects to the training, the medium was used to address the new Batch A corp members. The team comprised of Akan James, Chukwu David, Christian Akpabio and Amaka Asiegbu, gave a brief introduction of YAF and her projects. They elaborated on the YPAC project speaking on the SAC/Integrity Clubs set up by the ICPC. The corp members were encouraged to join in anchoring clubs across schools where they have been set up. For others who are working outside the school system or whose school do not have integrity clubs established, they can adopt a school and establish integrity clubs with support from ICPC and YAF. They also implored the corp members to carry out more creative activities in their CDS that promotes integrity. The #Sex4Grade and PWDs campaign was shared for interested persons to key in. At the end, two corp members indicated interest in setting up Integrity clubs in their schools.
